VENERABLE

 



VENERABLE

 

 

Confess an inglorious past now,

Reluctant to open his heart vow,

Knows the world around bright,

Education gave him an insight, (1)

 

Underneath darkness existence, 

His cursed teenage hurt intense,

Poverty less self-chosen happens,

Sorrows behind hunger sharpen, (2)

 

Assume razor-sharp knife thirst,

Reject to drink water, hunt past,

Thirsts were lost parent street child,

Never could know his past wild, (3)

 

Alas, parents forgot him on the street,

Collected by city authority greet,

Feed him well-offered clothes, love,

His life had no identity less solve, (4)

 

Studied well free schooling dwell,

Merit the gift of a cruel fate hail,

Succeeded in career scholarship,

Charity from senior person leap, (5)

 

The gown gold medal university,

Called this person uncle sanity,

Prompting him to study higher,

Praised the performance assure, (6)

 

Money no concern uncle provide,

His top post, police officer pride,

Never asked for his gratitude money,

Uncle loved him, distance funny, (7)

 

Fewer uncles accept credits, assure,

He acted as an umbrella secure,

Pointedly advised for a marriage,

He remembered teenage mirage, (viii)

 

Sobbed not few tears, he smiled,

God stole his parent's lives mild,

The orphanage, then uncle restored,

Dreams he less dared procured, (9)

 

No relatives, father, mother, sis,

No brother lo uncle prefers to kiss,

Never told, like his son, openly,

His fatherly protection solemnly, (10)

 

Confess the inglorious past well,

Left on a street, today honor fuel,

The ambit of emotion ruptured duet,

His wife, children, and life promulgate, (11)

 

God is not fate merciless, beacon,

Time heals wounds, life reckon,

Discover humanity exists visible,

Cruelty, poverty, illiteracy simple, (12)

 

Guesses soul search, frequent,

Where are his parents, relevant,

Pray against his raw wound little,

May Lord help him trace belittle, (13)

 

Their blood flows in his vein raw,

Found his mother's embrace, saw,

Guess his mother, undone indeed,

Must be crying a lot curse deed, (14)

 

Father, if ashamed, less forgiven,

Whether he searched him given,

A police officer has seen a couple,

Poverty social restriction topple, (15)

 

Inter-caste, interfaith conflicts,

The child before a marriage inflicts,

Unemployment insolvency hunt,

Unwanted child shameful taunt, (16)

 

His police officer training, strong,

Forgave his parents, deeds wrong,

No more pittance askance love,

Search his venerable link resolve. (17)

VENERABLE

 


VENERABLE

 

The community feels fortunate to have him,

Extraordinary achievement is a doctor,

Meticulously moves surgical knife blade,

Smoothly breaths the doctor, still nerve,

Stands for hours, spine bending the same,

Moved not in positions attention focused,

Bright light electric bulb lamp direct,

Flooding light over open stomach ribs,

Blood covers plastic gloves he cleans,

A knife moves delicately ultra cautiously,

Unwanted flesh and tissue are taken out,

The thread with needle sutures promptly,

A senseless, still body lies on a table,

Oxygen mask, saline, medicine dripping,

Checks the gadget of a scanner in lines,

Deciphers watchful eyes, attentive,

Waits finally cleaned the body inert,

Stay motionless, unconscious long,

Till the anesthesia exist,

Sometimes after a pinch, it responds,

The room, with aprons blood splattered,

A nurse and medic present obey orders,

The doctor left in haste, the wee hours,

The whole night six hours, the table was busy,

The heart and fingers eyes worked,

His books of knowledge, skill added,

The operation that saves thousand,

Doctor visits everyday watch smiles,

Satisfied he defeats straight line,

The monitors stay wavy, beating links,

Synchronized, it is a symphony of life,

His divine hand provided a rebirth,

So many male females on the table,

Linked each to a separate world,

Dying patient tearful husband, wife,

Crying children, parents, neighbors,

Returns happiness to their lives,

The doctor sutured dissipating hopes,

Hopes to renew lives unspoken,

Emotive aspects speechless spellbound,

Few price doctor takes the cost of a life?

The aspect I have seen Him,

Banished him life comforts, fame, gold,

Less wished the applause decided,

There is another world in this world,

Tribal, rural hinterland cut off totally,

From the facility of hospital doctors,

There moans a pregnant woman,

Complicated state emergency dying,

Watching clueless family waits for death,

No oxygen, electricity, medicines,

A child fell from a tree and injured his head,

An octogenarian with fever and acute pain,

The serenity of life is pure, innocent, accepted,

Surprisingly never complain about lacking,

Socked wide-eyed, a doctor adopted,

The jungle mountain circled,

Pristine river flowing blue water shiny,

Verdure is unbelievably hypnotizing,

Voluntary opened a brick clinic,

Solar panels ample electricity equipment,

Sufficient medicine operation room,

Consulting annex room has few beds,

No one to assist, a staff nurse,

Living there for months saved hundreds,

Village after village thinks of him as God,

Worships the venerable one unique,

I read the news, the community knows,

Know the public disbelieves venerable!
